A great spot for brunch! Not overly crowded but busy (good sign at any restaurant.) We didn’t have to wait for a table though. The place is really clean, airy and well designed. The food is great and fresh. A varied menu provides plenty of options without being overwhelming. Lots of coffee options and cocktails. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their menu and were helpful with explaining their food and beverage options.

Our first time here, and first time I haven't been disappointed by a soecialty breakfast restaurant in Hickory.. the restaurant itself is light bright and soothing. Our server Andy was attentive and pleasant. The food was delicious and cooked properly.. we had the bagels and lox and their breakfast platter so we had a good cross section of their offerings, this is a restaurant that I will come back to happily.. Also, I am not a huge pancake person, their oven baked pancakes are flavorful with a cakelike consistency

The name of the restaurant is what drew us in partially! Went here with my partner for a nice morning outing before we headed to a bookstore down the way. The waitress here and all the staff were incredibly kind and patient with us. They were willing to answer any questions we had, as well as make changes to the food if there was an ingredient we couldn't have or didn't like. Both my partner and I had the chicken sandwich, which was AMAZING! I also had a side of loaded hash browns, which were some of the most tasty hashbrowns I've had in a while. My partner got a side of fruit, which they enjoyed as well. The drinks here offer something for everyone. I'm not personally a big coffee drinker, so I got a hot chocolate, which again was delicious! My partner had a London fog, which they commented was incredibly good. The atmosphere felt very welcoming and home-y. I don't often eat in at restaurants, but I felt very comfortable here, and I'd definitely return!

Fabulous tasty food and great choices. They have a plethora of drink options. I had the hash plate and a pot of orchid vanilla tea! This might become one of my favorite brunch places.

Delicious food, fantastic service, and great atmosphere. I had the biscuits and gravy and honestly the best I’ve ever had, my mother had the corned beef skillet and short stack(the syrup made the pancakes), we also had the mimosa carafe(personally recommend) Erica was our server and she was funny and sweet we both enjoyed her personality

First time here today. Ashley was our server and she was excellent. All our questions were answered with a smile. So nice to have a great server. The menu is exciting, and there is something for everyone. The restaurant is nice too. It’s not overpowered with decorations. Our food was delicious. I got the Hash plate and a biscuit w/gravy. Very good! My wife had a chicken sandwich (like a club). Can’t remember the name. It was delicious as well. Huge!! We had a great experience today and we can’t wait to come back!! If you’re in the area, come check this place out. I highly recommend it!
